If there are billions of mice and too many starving people I think you just came up with a solution… Mouse Kabobs… MMmmmmmm.

You care too much for animals that couldn’t give another thought to you. It’s very common, humans looking after animals. Given the opportunity, animals would not think twice about eating you, or killing you for survival.

Releasing the mice, they’ll probably come back or go and disturb someone else, who will probably kill them.

There are billions of mice in the world, they are certainly not endangered. We have too many starving people in the world to be buying fancy gadgets so that the cute mice don’t die in your vicinity.

Blunt, I know. I hope I didn’t sound too rude.
I just saw a mouse in our house and I don’t want to kill it, but it’s a repeating problem, year after year, scratching, poo drops, eating food boxes..
Grrrr

TJ, you raise some good points. For more of a discussion on this see Veg.ca’s excellent article called Dealing with mice and rats: A humane approach to pest control. If you decide to kill them go with quick kill traps, and not glue or poison. The ultimate solution of course is to seal up all your cracks.

Great info. do you have any websites to reccomend on finding free stuff? I know of craigslist.com and givingaway.com but i was wondering if there are more out there and if so how to find them? ===== Check out www.freecycle.org. You have to join for your area. No photos, though. Craigslist is great for having photos.

Millions of people rehoming their unwanted items all over the world via the internet.

Run by local volunteers, for local people, in local groups.

I LOVE Freecycle!!!
